Programs are underway now to prepare for the 2020 Census.  The Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program is a once a decade opportunity for local governments to verify the Census address list for their area, and an accurate address list is important to getting Census questionnaires to every household.   Census staff are holding LUCA training sessions around the state beginning next week.

See the North Carolina LUCA training schedule online –  https://www.osbm.nc.gov/luca-training-north-carolina

These sessions are free and are aimed at local government staff who may be involved in address verification.  The sessions will begin at 9:00am and will last 3-4 hours each.  You do not have to have registered for the LUCA program to attend.  If you plan to attend a LUCA training session, please complete the “LUCA Training Notification” document at the bottom of the schedule.

Additional sessions are being scheduled, please revisit the schedule to find the most convenient training for you.
